Fairbanks, Alaska in the winter is freaking amazing and should be on every travelers bucket list.
We spent a week up there in March: enjoying the snow, chasing the northern lights, dog sledding, going to sled dog races, sipping cocktails with glasses made of ice in the ice museum, visiting the sculpture festival, and SO MUCH MORE.
Check out Fairbanks, Alaska... In the winter! It's one of the most incredible places I've ever been.

The Northern Lights Could Be Visible Across the Northern US This Weekend. Here's How to See Aurora
Parts of the northern United States from Montana to northern New England could get a glimpse of the Northern Lights over Labor Day Weekend, space weather forecasters say.
The Northern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis, are a luminous and sometimes colorful display seen in the night sky. They occur when charged particles from the sun interact with gasses in Earth’s atmosphere. Typically, they are only visible in higher-latitude regions, including Alaska, Scandinavia and Iceland, and even then only in the darker winter months.
But a geomagnetic storm predicted for this weekend could result in aurora sightings further south in places where they’re not typically seen.
Here is what you need to know about the Northern Lights, and where to try and view them this Labor Day weekend:
What are the Northern Lights?.
The Northern Lights are brilliant and often colorful displays created when particles emitted from the sun interact with Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, colliding with gases like oxygen and nitrogen, according to the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. As they collide, they gain energy, which they later release, creating the magnificent light shows we call the Northern Lights. (In the southern hemisphere, the same process results in the Southern Lights, or the aurora australis.)
The Northern Lights typically appear colorless or with a greenish-yellow hue. But occasionally, pink, red and even purple lights can be spotted. Either way, the show is best seen in clear, dark, could-free skies.
Northern Lights sightings were recorded by a number of human civilizations before the scientific process responsible for them was widely understood, NASA says. Ancient Chinese and Greek peoples wrote about the aurora, while they have been a part of Eskimo and Scandinavian oral tradition going back to 700 A.D. French astronomer Pierre Gassendi is credited with naming the phenomenon “Aurora Borealis,” which translates to “dawn of the north.”
When can people see the Northern Lights this weekend?.
While the Northern Lights occur during the daytime, they are only visible at night. Your best bet is to find a dark location away from city lights with a good view towards the north. You can use Dark Site Finder to locate the dark-sky location nearest you. Keep an eye on the weather forecast, too — clouds will block your view.
According to the UAF, the best time to watch for the Northern Lights is three or four hours around midnight, but the aurora can occur any time throughout a night.
Remember to dress warmly, as the temperature can drop significantly overnight at this time of year in most locations where the Northern Lights might be visible.
If you want to take pictures of the Northern Lights, your best bet will be using a camera capable of doing long exposures on a tripod with a wide-angle lens that has a fast aperture, like f/1.4 or f/2. Smartphones typically have a hard time capturing the aurora in all their glory.
It’s difficult to predict exactly how strong an aurora show will be, or if one will happen at all. However, the NOAA’s 30-minute forecast can give you some idea of when to get ready for a possible show. The OVATION Aurora Forecast shows the predicted intensity and location of the aurora based on current solar wind conditions.
However, aurora sightings are never a guarantee, so don’t be bummed out if you don’t spot anything — maybe consider doing some stargazing while you’re out there.
Where will the Northern Lights be visible?.
The Northern Lights could be visible this weekend in parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine. Observers in other locations at roughly the same latitude could also see the aurora.

Anchorage, Alaska Trip Part 1
When my friend Amanda said she wanted to go to Alaska, for her birthday this year, and visit her high school friend, I immediately asked If I could tag along, I mean its ALASKA!!! The final frontier and land of the midnight sun, who wouldn't want to experience that. The only thing that I wished was that we would have gone during the northern lights, but that just gives me more of a reason to go back to this beautiful state.
We arrived at Anchorage, and soon after the following day, our host for this trip, Jessy, Justin and their three kids drove down from Fairbanks to meet us. I instantly fell in love with these kids, all different, strong but above all hilarious personalities. I knew Justin from high school, and had met Jessi before, so it wasn't like I was meeting for the first time.
We decided to stay two nights at an airbnb in Anchorage, and I fell in love with this city. It was such a whole different experience that I will never forget.
This episode we enjoy good food, and drive down to Seward Alaska, for a boat tour, and my goodness it was amazing, the Vessel was called Orca Song, here is the link if you want to book
Also thank you Jessi Lopez for that Orca footage, I think that really made the video.
We also checked out the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, in Chugach State Park, here is the link
There is plenty more to come, and the rest is is even more stunning beauty,
Thanks for watching
